Bis(tetra-phenyl-phospho-nium) bis-[N-(phenyl-sulfon-yl)dithio-carbimato-κS,S']platinate(II) monohydrate
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(24)H(20)P)(2)[Pt(C(7)H(5)NO(2)S(3))(2)]·H(2)O, consists of two tetra-phenyl-phospho-nium cations, two half bis-[N-(phenyl-sulfon-yl)dithio-carbim-ato]platinate(II) dianions and one water mol-ecule. The anions are completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry associated with the central Pt(II) ion. The Pt(II) ion is doubly S,S'-chelated by two symmetry-related phenyl-sulfonyl-dithio-carbimate ligands, forming a slightly distorted square-planar configuration. Besides the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in the crystal packing, intra-molecular C-H⋯O and several inter-molecular C-H⋯O, C-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between the cations, anions and water mol-ecules are observed.

A consequence of chirality is the need for enantiomeric resolution. While this is theoretically possible for all...
Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
Phase II Reactions: Miscellaneous Conjugation Reactions
A key example involves the conjugation of cyanide ions, which impair cellular respiration and alter hemoglobin into non-oxygen-carrying cyanmethemoglobin. To neutralize this threat, a sulfur atom from thiosulphate is transferred to the cyanide ion, catalyzed by the enzyme rhodanese, resulting in an inactive compound called thiocyanate. The production of...
